It's time to reframe your view of yourself. You have an important perspective to contribute. Don't worry about whether your idea is the best; it just may be the seed that sparks a great revelation. 

Action for the day: Your ideas will never be used if you do not find the courage to speak them. Share your thoughts with someone today.
